P∗ computed by Cochran's Q test.

P# computed by chi-square test or Fischer's Exact test.

Anti-spike antibody levels >15.0 arbitrary unit (AU)/mL were considered as seropositive while antibody level ≤15 AU/mL were considered as seronegative, as per the manufacturer's kit; V2- Second dose of vaccine.
